- Light strings based on LEDs are disclosed in US-A-6072280.
- the invention provides a light-emitting diode lamp comprising a support and an array of light emitting diodes on the support, an optical axis passing through the middle of the array, wherein: the diodes increase in number with distance from the optical axis; and the light from the diodes increases in inclination with distance from the optical axis.
- the present invention further provides a light-emitting diode lamp comprising a support and an array of light emitting diodes on the support, an optical axis passing through the middle of the array and the diodes increasing in number and increasing in inclination with distance from the optical axis.
- the invention also provides a luminaire comprising a lamp as described above and a lens having facets for generally un-deviated and un-reflected passage of light from off-axis diodes.
- the invention further provides a building emergency lighting system comprising luminaires as described above.
- the invention yet further provides a light-emitting diode lamp comprising a support and an array of light emitting diodes on the support, and control means for causing the lamp to operate in a first mode to provide emergency lighting and in a second mode to provide continuous security lighting and to operate at a first power during emergency lighting and at a second power less than the first power during security lighting.
- the lamp may be ceiling or wall-mounted and be used to provide various patterns of light on a floor, e.g.:
- first and second lobes facing in opposite directions away from the axis for use e.g. in a path through a room;
- first and second lobes facing in opposite directions away from the axis along a first line and third and fourth lobes facing in opposite directions away from the axis along a second line directed at right angles to the first line for use at an intersection of two paths; • A circularly symmetrical pattern of light for general illumination.

- the LEDs should produce white light, as this is required for building emergency illumination.
- the diodes are preferably at spacings one from another. Rather than using discrete lensed LEDs, it may, however, be possible to mount chip diodes on a PCB or other support and to subsequently overlay lenses e.g. in strips on the LEDs to give directional light output.
- the support advantageously carries an electrical circuit for supplying power to the diodes, the diodes being connected in parallel.
- a luminaire according to the invention advantageously further comprises storage batteries for supplying current to the diodes, a charging circuit for charging the batteries from mains power and a control circuit for switching battery power to the diodes on loss of mains power.

- emergency lighting may be required, providing escape lighting that fulfils the following functions:
- Fig 1 shows a sales space 10 of a department store having sales counters 12 in an area 14, storage facilities 16 and a path 18 between an entrance 20 and an exit 22.
- the path 18 serves as a walkway, but in the event of a power failure or other emergency it also serves as an escape path.
- Emergency lighting luminaires powered by storage batteries are used to light both the path 18 and other areas such as the sales area 14.
- British standards, for example BS 5266-1:1999 require an even illumination of 1.0 lux and of width at least 0.5 meter along the path 18 and illumination of 0.2 lux in other areas.
- luminaires that have incandescent or fluorescent lamps, and it is one of the objects of this invention to provide a luminaire for emergency lighting that takes advantage of the long life, high luminous efficiency and low power consumption of light-emitting diodes.
- the luminaire of the invention can be provided in both non-maintained and in maintained versions, the maintained version being illuminatable as required to provide low-level security lighting e.g. for use overnight or at weekends when the main illumination is off so that for example security cameras can monitor the space which is being illuminated.
- the LED's are preferably run at a reduced output compared to when they are run in emergency mode in order to preserve their life.
- a luminaire 24 for surface mounting in a ceiling or for mounting in an aperture or recess formed in the ceiling comprises a holder 26 for fixing to or into the ceiling, a body 28 that is a snap fit or is otherwise removably attached to the holder 26 and a lens 30 forming part of the body 28.
- the holder 26 is generally of channel section with end caps and it may be of extruded aluminum or other suitable material. Inner edge surfaces 32 are provided for snap engagement with mating surfaces 34 of the body 28 also of extruded aluminum or other suitable material.
- a web portion 35 of the body is spaced from the holder 26 to define a compartment 36 for batteries 38 that are held in position by spring clips 40.
- the batteries 38 may be nickel metal hydride cells for maintaining reliable emergency operation without the problems of discharge memory effect; nickel cadmium batteries could also be used.
- the intelligent electronics built into the lamp may provide for controlled charging and discharging of the cells 38 to achieve optimum life and performance for the batteries 38.
- a lower face of the web portion 35 supports a motherboard 42 on which is mounted a transformer 44 and other power supply and control circuitry.
- the holder 26 carries first electrical connectors 31, 31a that mate with a second electrical connector 22 on the lamp body when the holder and body are fitted together for supply of mains and battery power to the motherboard 42 and also for providing charging current to the batteries 38 during quiescent or non-emergency conditions.
- Return flanges 46 of the body 28 are formed at their ends 48 with slots to receive a flexible fiberglass circuit board 50 that assumes a convex arcuate profile and carries an array of LEDs generally indicated by the reference numeral 58 on its lower face.
- the board 50 is of thickness about 0.5 mm and is single-sided with printed conductors on the face opposite to that to which the LEDs are attached.
- the board 50 becomes bent to a radius of curvature of about 45 mm.
- Further slots 52 provide a location for the lens 30 which has a radius of curvature of 60mm.
- the ends of the body are closed by plates 54 which are attached to the body 28 by any convenient means, e.g. by screws 56 that locate in fixing channels 60.
- the plates 54 close off the ends of both the body 28 and the holder 26.
- the diode array 58 is directed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the lamp and comprises a central red lensed LED 62 and rows 64,64', 66,66', 68,68', 70,70' of white lensed LEDs disposed symmetrically at progressively increasing distances from the LED 62 and respectively containing 2, 3, 4 and 5 LEDs.
- the LED 62 is provided to give a status indication, and the remaining white LEDs provide emergency illumination in a first mode and security lighting in a second mode as and when required.
- the white LEDs are all parallel and normal to its surface, but when fitted into the luminaire, the white LEDs are inclined outwardly at angles that increase progressively with distance from the LED 62.
- the array is defined to have an optical axis 72 (Fig. 3) that passes along a radius of the board 50 through the LED 62, then the working LEDs increase in number and in angle of outward inclination with distance from the optical axis.
- the diodes are spaced apart from one another in the array, with spacing between one diode and another in each row being 10mm and the spacing between one row and another being 8.66 mm.
- the lamp may use InGaN (indium gallium nitride) white LEDs which can provide a long service life.
- each white LED is a Nichia NSPW 510 BS lensed LED (available in the UK from plusOpto, Leigh, Lanes) that has a diameter of 5 mm, a length of 7mm, a rated output of 1.1 candela and an output angle of 50° (i.e. the light is emitted as a divergent conical concentrated beam having a width of ⁇ 25° with respect to the optical axis of the LED).
- the lens 30 should have a larger radius of curvature than the circuit board 50, and in the present embodiment a radius of 60 mm has been selected. It is important to avoid waste of light from the LED's by back reflection from the lens 30 or through multiple reflections within the lens. The difference in curvature between the board 50 and the lens 30 creates few problems close to the optical axis 72, and for that reason the lens can have a plain curved axial region 74 through which light from the status indicator LED 62 and the working LEDs of the innermost rows 64,64' passes.
- the lens is formed with facets 76,76', 78,78', 80,80* through which light from the diodes in rows 66,66', 68,68', 70,70' passes, the facets being directed generally normal to the optical axes of the diodes in each row.
- Each facet is larger than the divergent beam from the LED impinging on it, so that the light from each LED passes through the facet with minimal deviation or reflection.
- the beam from each LED is relatively concentrated, it is possible to obtain even coverage over a wide field, with the greater intensity of emitted light being directed into the far field. The results obtainable with the above described are shown in Fig.
- Fig 8 shows the upper face of the circuit board 50 according to a first embodiment with longitudinal conductive tracks 82,84 between which are shown conductors 86,88 for a series resistor 89 and connector pads 90 for an LED. It will be noted that the conductors 86,88 and the surface mounted series resistor 89 are directed along the no-bend axis 92, whereas the tracks 82,84 are directed along the bend axis 94. This arrangement minimizes circuit faults arising when the board 50 is curved to the shape shown in Fig. 3.
- the circuit diagram of the board 50 with its current-limiting resistors and LEDs is as shown in Fig 9. It will be noted that all the working LEDs are connected in parallel so that failure of any diode leaves the others still working.
- the load resistors 89 are located on or adjacent to the tracks 82,84 and the LEDs are spaced from the tracks 82,84. With this arrangement the thermally sensitive LEDs are protected from the heat from the load resistors.
- Fig 10 gives schematic circuit of the driving and control circuitry.
- Mains AC is supplied via low- voltage transformer 100 to bridge rectifier 102 and the resulting low voltage DC output passes via voltage regulator 104 and battery constant current control unit 106 to the rechargeable battery unit 108 made up of the individual batteries 38 in space 36. During normal running this path maintains the batteries charged ready for use should an emergency arise.
- the mains input is also fed to an input voltage detection unit 112 whose output is fed through opto- coupler monitor 143 to a solid-state control unit 110 (e.g. a microcontroller). Assuming that power is present and the luminaire is operating correctly the control unit 110 causes the LED 62 to show a steady light.
- a solid-state control unit 110 e.g. a microcontroller
- auto-test and monitoring software 113 activates flashing unit 114 to cause the LED 62 to flash.
- flashing unit 114 In an alternative arrangement instead of the red LED 62 there is provided a bi-color red/green LED that gives a constant green signal unless a fault is detected or the cells 38 are insufficiently charged, in which case it gives a flashing red signal. If power fails, the control unit 110 responds to a signal from the detection unit 112 by causing the control unit 106 to draw current from the battery unit 108 and to energize the white LEDs on the board 50.
- a manual input 115 can be used to cause a diagnostic test to be carried out, and maintained (lamp on with mains ON or OFF) or non-maintained (lamp OFF when mains ON) mode can be selected using a selector 117.
- maintained mode emergency illumination and security illumination modes can be selected as described above.
- Battery voltage is monitored by monitor 109 that provides a feedback signal to the control unit 110 to enable the batteries to be maintained at the correct level of charge.
- Fig 11 Light output from a practical embodiment of the lamp is shown in Fig 11. As is apparent, the illumination is in two zones directed to opposite sides of the optical axis in a "bats-wing" configuration, and with the maximum intensity some 20° off the optical axis. The distribution and illumination levels achieved with this embodiment have been found to be sufficient for emergency lighting in shops, offices and other buildings.
- a luminaire 121 comprises a fluorescent tube lamp 123 and a LED luminaire 125 of the general type previously described built in side-by-side relationship into a single housing or unit 127.
- the circuit board 130 may be curved along two axes to provide a bi-axial light output, or it could be part spherical.
- the LED array need not nave the number of diodes indicated, and as shown in Fig 17, for example, it may have rows of three, four and five diodes.
- the diodes may be built into facets of an otherwise generally planar support 140 with a curved front lens 142 as shown in Fig 18 or with an appropriately revised planar or near planar faceted lens 142a as shown in Fig 19.
- Fig 20 there is shown diagrammatically a circuit board 50' carrying a further LED array having a central LED 62' and rows of diodes 64", 64'", 66", 66'", 68", 68"', 70", 70'” having 2, 3, 4 and 5 diodes per row.
- Figs 21-23 show the board of Fig 20 with outer regions plane folded to direct light from the outer rows of diodes 68", 68'", 70", 70'” to the far field as shown.
- the board 50" remains planar and the diodes 68", 68"', 70", 70'" of the outer two rows are mounted in outwardly facing orientations to direct light into the far field as shown.
- the LED support can be concavely curved in profile when installed into the luminaire with the LEDs on the inner face and Fig 27 is a view similar to that of Fig. 26 except that the outer regions of the board are folded or faceted instead of curved.
- the advantage of using a concave array is that the aperture required in the ceiling or in the housing of a luminaire can be smaller than with the convex arrangement and without obstruction by the housing of the light emitted from the LEDs.
- the array is as shown in Fig. 6 and comprises green/red LED 62"" and white LEDs 64"", 66"", 68"" and 70"".
- Fig. 29 shows a luminaire 24 as described with reference to Figs. 2-11 mounted on ceiling 151 and a door opening 152 provided with downwardly facing LED-based downlighters 150.
- Each downlighter effectively has half the optics of a downlighter 24, that is to say a red/green status LED 154 and rows of 2, 3, 4 and 5 white LEDs marked 156, 158, 160, 162, all behind a lens 164 whose profile is one half of the lens 30.
- the downlighters 150 are shown wall-mounted but they could also be ceiling-mounted adjacent to the door opening 152. As shown in Fig. 31, the lower face of one of the downlighters 150 also supports a depending illuminated information panel 166.
- a diode array on a planar circuit board 171 comprises a central red/green LED 170 and rows 172, 172", 173, 173', 174, 174' and 175, 175' whose number increases progressively with distance from the central LED 170 as for the array of Fig. 6.1n this instance however, all the LEDs are mounted substantially parallel and facing substantially at right angles away from the board 171.
- a fresnel lens comprises a central region 176 that passes the light undeviated or with slight deviation, and facets 177, 177', 178,178' and 179, 179' that are arranged to collect the light from the diodes in rows 173,173', 174,174' and 175,175' and direct it at progressively increasing angles towards the far field.
